IN KERALA IT IS APPLICABLE. IN OTHER STATES DEPENDS ON THE PROVISIONS OF RESPECTIVE ACTS. IN OTHER WORDS IT IS NOT UNIFORM IN ALL STATES.

THat is a good piece of information Mr.Warrier. Can you please state the exact provision of Kerala VAT which says so. It will be useful. Thank you.
If the act, defines what is the time of sale, then the liability arises according to the provision of law.
It is always debatable that, when there is no transfer of property in goods how one can tax on advance recived.
However in Karnataka even if there is no transfer of property in goods, if any advance received for such transfer it should be taxed at the time of receipt of advance [section 7 of Karnataka Value Added Tax Act, 2003]
